According to the weather forecast, it would be a fine for the both two days but・・・
If the camping site was much crowdy, I would give camping up today and postpone since this camping site is only a half hour from my home by motorcycle and I can change to another day instantly.
But fortunately, campers there were only 5 or so and even the best view area in front of the lake was vacant at that moment (in the later the place was occupied by several campers).
This time, I'd like to enjoy bonfire so I've tried to find the location that may be free from the strong wind in all aspects as much as possible.
The site fare of one night two days is 1,000yen/adult.
Due to cars and motorcycles are prohibited to enter into the tent site, I've parked my HONDA Hunter Cub (CT125) about 20 meters far from the tent and carried all the goods by a cart provided by the owner at free of charge.
After pitching tent up, took a Sushi lunch in the cozy warm weather at 20℃.
Alcohol burner was used for afternoon tea time.
This fire wood is 500yen/basket at the owner's house of this camping site.
I'm going to set bonfire stand up onto the fireproof sheet made of fiberglass to prevent the burn holes on the ground. Height of folding fire reflector is 40cm and it would be effective for keeping the warm and protection against the wind.
Overview on my tent site.
I've started the bonfire with the handmade tinder wick for fire starter which was absorbed paraffin oil.
Chicken wings.
Yummy !
Taking mixed vegetables with meets are good for the health accordingly.
Non-alcohol but sparkling soft drink I like.
Next is beef meat, and it has been almost full of my stomach with the total nearly 400g of chicken wings and beef meat being eat, and therefore, omitted to make an instant soba-noodle which was prepared just in case.
Boiled water for earl grey tea. After 19 o'clock、it became rain, strong wind and thunder, so obliged to quit the bonfire and escape into the tent.
Testing on red LED light of the new headlight.
The lowest temperature was zero in the tent at the night.
Layered Sleeping bags of Snugpak elite 5 as the outer and mont-bell down one as the inner that made me very warm and comfortable through the cold night.
cold, chilly & freezing
Bonfire in the morning time.
It’s a very windy day and I left the camping site at around 10 o'clock for my home.
